Last week I bought a few of the Bessey K clamps that were/are on sale at Home Depot. I also got a Bessey Strap clamp. I had never used one but it looked like it might be a good one for using when I make planters for SHMBO. I used it this weekend and it worked great. I went out and found another one at the 5th HD store in the area (San Jose). It was marked down from somewhere in the thirties to $18.00. (It is $36.99 right now at Amazon). I made one planter that was 5 sided and the strap clamp was just right. I am going to get a few more of the corner pieces cuz it only comes with 4 and I like to make many sided planters. Last year, just to practice my angle cuts I made a series of planters with
4,5,6,7,and 8 sides. I need to make a few more to "justify" this latest purchase. Bruce- posted
